Bound in brown cardboard with golden geometric and floral decorations, the copy embodies a book that swept across the Muslim world.Often attributed to sainthood, the Berber al-Jazuli created this literary device in the 14th century for recitation, prayer and oral remembrance of the beloved Prophet Muhammad. Intended for word recitings to enhance one’s access to the divine, the book could be read aloud or silently, alone or as a collective.The prayers are split into seven sections representing each day of the week for daily worship. Simultaneously, the book served as ahajj(pilgrimage) guide due to its vivid descriptions of Mecca andMedina. While the book appeals to people across socio-economic backgrounds and geographic context, the collection reflects al-Jazuli’s inclusive nature and encouragement of women to transfer Islamic knowledge and educate the future generations.
